    I'm doing the 100-4-100 challenge. I'll finish up Fight Song to start, then focus on Dust of Silver. I might cheat a little by switching over to Mechanical Heart for July Camp, though.
    As far as reviews go, I'm currently in the middle of rereading Songkeeper in preparation for the Song of Liera release. But if I have time, I'll try to read and review something before the giveaway ends.

      Like, I was literally thinking when you announced this comment thing again "just give it to Sarah already". XD But Savannah's impressively commenting too! I just haven't had time to read all the posts. XD

      Oh storms, I totally missed that bit. xD Yes, someone, give me competition. Though that makes me feel better about the number of times I've shared/pinned things.
      Also, someone's keeping up with me in the comments race? Good to know . . .

      Hahaha, YES - I'm going to give you a run for your money, Sarah! ;D (well - hopefully. I have to rewrite my novella, Forgotten, into a full novel within a month and a half, so I might be too busy! BUT I SHALL TRY)

    Ooo! That first line game is very cool! Alas, I'm too far behind to catch up this go-round. But eventually I might be contender. Contender, I say!

Introducing: The Arista Challenge

Well hello, everyone! I imagine that most of you know about the Rooglewood Fairy Tale contests, where everyone scrambles to rewrite the same fairy tale in hopes that their story will one of the five selected for the coveted collection Five Something Something.  I wrote for three of the four collections, CinderEddy for Five Glass Slippers , Poison Kiss for Five Magic Spindles, and The Seven Drawers and Red as Snow for Five Poison Apples.  Unfortunately, The Seven Drawers  was the only story that I was able to finish in time to send it in (And I'm now waiting with bated breath to find out whether or not I won.) Unfortunately, Poison Apples was their last contest. So, we were talking in the Facebook Group about how sad we'd be to lose the community. And I had a thought. I can't offer a contest, but I can continue the challenge. The picking of a fairy tale and the writing together with fury. I can't offer a single collection with cash prizes, but I can offer a joi

Handling the Physical with Tammy Lash

How far is too far? Kissing? Handholding? How do you handle the physical part of writing your romances? (I mean, it has to be addressed unless your romance is confined 100% to letter writing). I have Tammy Lash here with us today to talk about just that. Tammy's the author of a lovely romance novel called White Wolf and the Ash Princess , a book that was completely not what I explected and reduced me to a sobbing mess of tears. (Internally, at least.) Over to you, Tammy!

Accurate Dialogue with Kelsey Bryant

I have Kelsey Bryant here with us today to tackle a controversial subject indeed - historically accurate dialogue. We don't live back then, so how can we possibly even come close to sounding like we do? But, then, our readers don't live back then, either, and we might confuse them... Kelsey is the author of the lovely Suit and Suitablity , a Depression-era retelling of Sense and Sensabilty which is my newest favorite book. Seriously, I can't recommend this story highly enough. Kelsey Bryant Christian/Contemporary/Historical Fiction/Retellings Author of Suit and Suitability Website ~ Blog ~ Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Facebook Copyediting Historically accurate dialogue is one of those controversial topics that only historical fiction lovers debate. We know that dialogue is crucial—it brings the world of a book to life, and if it isn’t done right, readers can never fully immerse themselves in that world. So how is historical fiction dialogue done right? Well, her
